I am a DOF junkie and this gallery is dream for me. Such wonderful work with that f/1.2 lens...I am quite jealous of it in fact. My system as nothing comparable. Excellent and inspiring work, sir.

Love your selective focous and the unusal angles that you shoot ordnary objects from. The mark of a great artist.

Echo Tim's comment, awesome lens put to great use, wish there was a similar 1.2 in a Nikon fit!

Excellent shots, Mike

Love your use of that 85mm f1.2 Mike (didn't know it existed)!
I have a very under-utilised 85 f1.8 and 50 f1.4, both originally bought for indoor sports.
You've inspired me to get out there and see what they are capable of!
